i Thompson is justly proud of hei

planned constantly for school and
community betterment. And the
thing i hat is planned is in variably •
put over. Friday evening of this
week, will be "Dad’s Night,’l’ at

iguest will be the indispensible house

• Dad. Incidentally an attempt will

i Dad in the whole school community

! bring his wife along.
More than usual interest has been

I E. E. Cook of 1 lains offers a
i prize of five dollars to the high
school pupils who writes the best
thousand word essay on the subject,
"The Benefits of Life Insurance to
the Home.” More than a score of
essays have been submitted, and
now the decision of the judges i.-
eagerly awaited.
On Friday afternoon of last week,
.he Thompson Parent-Teachers As
; ociation at its regular monthFy
I meeting, went on record as unant-
■ imously endorsing the candidacy ot
! Mr. B. E. Thriu-her for Tax Colle>

Recorder readers'. ’
Fiiday night, February 15 the
high school with the help of teachers
11 put on the [-lay entitled ‘At

Forecasting A
Sprang Demand
739,626
more Ford cars and trucks were pro
duced last year than the previous '■*
. • year an increase of over 50 per cent.
V, .r.
In spite of this tremendous increase in production, it was e . .
impossible to meet delivery requirements during the spring
and summer months when orders for 350,C00 Ford Cars •'
and Trucks could not be filled.
This year winter buying for immediate delivery has been
more active than ever before—and in addition 200,000
orders have already been booked through the Ford Weekly
Purchase Plan for spring delivery.
These facts clearly indicate that the demand during this
spring and summer will be far greater than ever, and that
orders should be placed immediately with Ford Dealers as
a means of protection against delay in securing your Ford
Car or Truck or Fordson Tractor.
